Normally I really don’t write pieces or in this case reviews sort of speck on television shows, but I have been waiting for One Tree Hill to premiere for months now and considering it was the only show of my favorites from last season on the cw not to be cancelled or have its series finale, it still meant a lot to me to watch.
Last night I was very interested in seeing just what the new season of One Tree Hill would be like including the fact that the story line jumped from there last days of high school and children being born to 4 years ahead (to be pacific, 4 years, 6 months and 2 days…) this season.
After watching last night’s two-hour premiere, it was a good move, its always interesting to see where people are four+ years later after high school. I had to keep in mind that some had just finished college or so I thought. Going into the premiere, I believe that a lot of the fans wanted to see how Haley turned out, was she working, still married to Nathen and what about her son?
Well that was quickly answered when viewers saw her just finishing up her teaching degree to only starting her first days as being a teacher at none other than Tree Hill High with her little 4 year old son Jamie right next to her. What about Nathon…
The biggest surprise was Nathen to me, wait, before you say what, let me explain. The vision of Nathon at the end of last season was he was still going to be a big basketball star and in the first episode, he was to be drafted to (I believe) Seattle, but wouldn’t you know it, it wasn’t to be, he was in a wheel chair… all throughout the episode, he kept saying I have nothing, I have nothing, at times I was just sitting there saying what are you talking about, you have a cute 4 year old little boy who idolizes and loves you, who wants to be like you and a gorgeous wife, wake up.
I had thought that Nathen had injured his legs in a basketball game, but nope, something that was so Nathon, he got thrown out a plate glass window landing on concrete saying to his brother Lucus, I can’t feel my legs.
It was surprising just how any had stayed in Tree Hill or was living there after who ever completed college. I expected that Lucus the writer would be somewhere nearby and he was… writing he second book and dating his editor. The big writer, nope, the new head coach of the Tree Hill Ravens that hasn’t done anything since their championship four years ago. It was a good touch to see Lucus as the Head Coach and even better to see Skalls as the Assistant head coach, but were was his girlfriend?
Mouth, looked like he just finished college and was on the unemployed level for a while and having no luck finding work, I know how that can be, the search now a days gets harder and harder with fewer jobs to be found. He who also lived in Tree Hill landed a entry-level job reviewing tapes with a boss that hired him, just to say strike two, well he hasn’t been fired yet.
From the look on preview commercials leading up to the premiere, no surprise to see that Payton was struggling to find success with a record label that in her eyes doesn’t know good music at all and with a boss that well was more interested in seeing Payton with one more button out then listening to her advice and comments on who might they sign for the next big hit. She finally got it right when she said I quit and left to meet Brook in Tree Hill and both went to home to see what life was like now.
Wait I said, Brook… which finally brings me to the career successful women herself, please tell me that nobody was surprised to see (the 21 year old) Brook was running her own multi-million dollar business called Clothes over bros. Considering a couple seasons ago her clothing sold out big times… that was perfect and yet didn’t have a man anywhere in sight.
What an ending to the two-hour episode, nothing better describes this one then saying “you can always go home again” as someone finally wake up… as one after another decided to live in Tree Hill with Brook buying business space in none other than Karen’s café to run her Clothes over bros. business from to Haley waking up Nathon to only find him walking in water, touching… now what about the parents and whatever happened to Karen’s Cafe? Did anyone else watch?
